Explanation:
The Recovery Act provided a $500 million special administrative distribution. Each state's share was deposited in the state's account in the Unemployment Trust Fund on February 27, 2009, where it is available for implementing the state's incentive provisions, improving outreach to individuals potentially eligible under the state's UI Modernization provisions, improving UI tax and benefit operations, and the provision of staff-assisted reemployment services. Most state laws require appropriation of these funds by the state legislature. At this stage, it is too early to report on state use of this money. |
